Breitbart News reported that the memo largely mirrored Sen. Joe Manchins (D-WV) gun control bill and would require the issuance of a bill of sale and the preservation of a chain of title for gun sales that do not currently require government oversight. The Hill reports that Attorney General William Barr tried to talk Sen. Cruz into supporting the gun control, but Cruz would not.

Seems like Bill Barr finds it easier to go after law abiding citizens rather than corrupt government bureaucrats.
FUBB!

instead of violate and decimate it! The CommiecRATs want to destroy a lot more than 10% of our Constitution.

Ted Cruz is about 2% annoying, and hes very bothersome when that happens (for example, blaming Trump for the far-left violence at Trump rallies during the campaign). Hes also one of the best we have 98% of the time. Thank God for Ted Cruz!
The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor.
- Ronald Reagan
Ted Cruz is way above Reagans 80% threshold. We should cheer for him more often.
Not really. The GOP has 100% lied to us for 30 years about wanting a secure border. Cruz lied and blamed Trump for organized Democrat violence at Trump’s Chicago rally. He never retracted that libel. Cruz was a big supporter of TPP. Etc., etc.
No doubt Romney votes with Trump 80%. Yet no sane Conservative would deny he is a traitor. Reagan would be disgusted to see the modern GOP and their love affair with all things progressive.

Trump seems incapable of choosing a good AG. So far, he’s 0-2.

Ted Cruz is way above Reagan’s 80% threshold. We should cheer for him more often.I agree. His biggest problem is that he really isn't a very likable fellow.

FWIW, you should always create a bill of sale if selling a firearm privately. It becomes a legal document showing that you no longer have the gun.

Lost in the fake news clutter is the Republican effort to kill gun control in a quiet way.
The President says something that is extrapolated time ten and then a Republican Senator allows there are flaws in the fake extrapolation.
Then is is obvious that such a measure will not pass the Senate so McConnell doesn’t waste time bringig it up.

Socialists and Islamists play the long game most of the time, we can't see beyond the next quarterly report.

Socialists and Islamists play the long game most of the time, we can't see beyond the next quarterly report. Yes, and no. There are nonnegotiable rights (freedom of religion and our individual right to keep and bear arms are on that list), and there are political issues where we cannot afford to demand purity (the budget, where I hate Trump's deficits almost as much as I hated previous huge deficits, is in this second group).

FWIW, you should always create a bill of sale if selling a firearm privately. It becomes a legal document showing that you no longer have the gun. Soon it won't be possible to sell a gun without going through a licensed FFL which creates a registry o matter what they claim about destroying those sales after some period of time.

we are seeing his true colors on this now. You won't go to jail for attempting to overturn an election.
You will go to jail for believing that the Second Amendment means what it says.

There are nonnegotiable rights (freedom of religion and our individual right to keep and bear arms are on that list) Which ones of those have not been negotiated away at least in part?

Any RINO who accepts further erosion of those most fundamental of all rights has crossed an unacceptable line. I am thoroughly disappointed that they did not pass, for example, the hearing protection act during President Trump’s first two years, but I don’t blame the President and others currently in office for the erosion that occurred before they were elected.

"...if your next door neighbor had a known mental disorder (previous commitment or conviction) would you want his firearm purchase flagged?"
Every such person I've known about was or had been on drugs and already federally barred from possessing firearms. There were rumors that some of them had weapons, though. Many of them get weapons from drug dealers. They simply aren't busted enough, and there are no long term drug rehabilitation or mental facilities.
Mothers, managers, teachers and administrators, for the sake of the sensitivities of their mothers, have said, "But he's a nice boy." Our workplaces in services are incrementally looking more like freak shows to suit the kind of Democrats who tried to stop Justice Kavanaugh from being appointed. Many of the employees are obviously so slug-like, they hardly move.
Our nation is beginning to look like a Juggalo convention.
As for the middle and upper middle class mass murderers so prominent in the news, most of them were obviously products of the anti-male divorce/cohabitation regime and drug addictions. They were also protected adults around them from negative reputations and from rehabilitation.

Any RINO who accepts further erosion of those most fundamental of all rights has crossed an unacceptable line. The point I was making is that those rights have already been eroded. Both are considered privileges that you can only have if you meet certain government requirements.
I don't condone it just accept the fact that creeping socialism has about creeped into the ultimate position of power while we have watched and done nothing. How on God's Earth did this country get to the point it is willing to elect known Communist/Socialist to public office? (A little bite at a time)
